Being a Golden Retriever Owner I can tell that it's not as easy as it seems to raise a Goldie. Even though they are one of the most intelligent and gentle dogs, there are quite a few challenges that every new parent goes through. So I decided to share all the advice and tips for raising a Golden Retriever.
This is how vdos should be made. Concise, precise and to the point. This is how people remain engaged and genuinely learn something. Good job. Looking forward to more beautiful stuff related to GRs.
So glad to hear that :)
This is so right i wanted to say that lol
I got this breed of dog because of you and I never regret it and learned a ton thank you
Thank you so much for this channel! It is so informative!!
Really great tips! So good for Golden parents to know. We went to puppy school the day we picked up our adorable Golden. Just worked out. So helped us know what to do 1st day and onwards. Your tips are so invaluable. 🙏
Loved the video! Agree with everything!
Back after a year. These are still wise words. Knowing they need release of their energy is a good thing. It gets us out there too. Keep up your great and necessary channel.
This is such a great vlog - thanks!
Glad you enjoyed it!
This is not vlog
This is informational video!
Thank you so much for your suggestion 😊 ..
great video with great tips, Just remember everyone makes mistakes but the most important is to have fun and build the bond with your puppy
so happy peaople are talking about this!! as a new dog ovner it's so hard to do things right the first time, and i feall like some comuneties are hating you for that :( it's not that i don't want to, but don't know how to, even if you read beforehand
Planning on getting a golden puppy soon, so this is really helpful^^
I love dogs. There are so many kinds of dogs. I need to have a representative. At that time, I did not know much about dogs except for a few basic ideas. I looked at pictures of dog breeds and decided the golden retriever looked the best representative for dogs ---- no short legs, no flat face, no sharp face, no piercing eyes, floppy ears that make them look docile and furry.
Then I got to know the breed's name and their characteristics. Wow! The perfect dog for me. When the German Shepherd expressed any strengths over the Golden Retriever, I was jealous. Now, those 2 are my favourite although I always have a soft spot for GRs. For the last 5 years, I got to know more about ferocious dog breeds and love them too.
Explained such an Informative content so well😍
Thanks a lot 😊
Decent advice for most breeds. However:
Re socialization: include sounds, different people (eg, sirens, lawn mowers, people with beards, people with canes or in wheelchairs, bicycles, baby strollers, etc), all types of dogs (easy to encounter in dog parks).
Re exercise: golden retrievers, like other retrievers, were bred to help hunters RETRIEVE birds and other prey. Therefore, playing fetch is a great activity for them to get exercise, as well as to mimic what they were originally bred to do.
Re human foods: fresh fruit and vegetables (check if the specific fruit/vege is safe for dogs) can actually be make very healthy treats and additions to their diets. A Belgian study showed that dogs lived an avg 3 years longer when fed fresh fruits and vege. Many people feed their fur babies fresh, homemade foods, btw.
Cheers
Thank you soooo much for very informative video ❤❤👌👌
Thank you for the information..
We're so glad :)
I love your videos! Goldies are awesome
They surely are the best :)
There's a lot of good stuff there. I've had Labradors most of my life, but am now on my second Golden (the first was when I was too young to really know what I was doing, and we took her over from another family anyway, after the hard work had been done) and everything you list there is just about spot-on. They are simply wonderful dogs, but you have to put some work in at the start - far too many people think you can just press a button somewhere and have a perfect dog. And, as you say, start asap, NOT when the pup is half a year old. It's sad that in so many aspects of life people listen to what one (probably well-meaning, but.... well....) friend tells them, ignoring in the process all of the knowledge and experience of many many experts.
Oh this channel is soooooooooo helpful
We're glad :)
Goldens are the smartest and most affectionate dogs. Despite being goofy and big they are wonderful. We have a 9 week old. My mother ans step dad has past experience with a lab and golden. I’m so exited to watch my new little baby bro grow into a handsome doggo
Thnk u so much for this video
One way of “controlling” the treats is to use the kibble that makes up part of their dinner. I haven’t met the Goldie that actually cares what the treat is!
I’m getting a golden retriever soon so I keep watching ur vids for advice
We're glad we could help!
I was clueless when I got my first Golden but she did get walked four times a day in the woods etc. My mistake was not putting her on the lead very much as I lived in the countryside in the UK. However she was the most gentle girl ever, she was my life for 16 years. I miss her everyday.
Best dogs ever! I have had 2 pairs and have never regretted it. My girl is a certified Therapy dog who passed before she was a year old.....they are SMART!
Beautiful Golden 😊
Thank you! 😊
Socialising your dog is SUPER important, I had to put down my dog because we didn’t socialise her enough so she didn’t like other dogs and wasn’t friendly towards them, she attacked another dog and that was the end.
ty for that
We're glad
Great recommendations!! There is only one issue that I have issues with my 1 year retriever. It is jumping, he jumps on you all the time. They said ignore him, turn around and nothing works in my case. What cani do?? Thanks
🇮🇪☘️. Very good video sharing
We had a GS that went off with hip dysplasia. All my family was unhappy even after 4 years and told me to never get one again. I got one. The day my mother saw she got on my head and in couple of seconds. They all are in love with him.My GR is seven months now , sleeps on my Mom's bed like a king with no hassle🗿😂.
My dog #furryalvan was socialized very early. It's always good to train puppies as early as possible. Great video!
I have 2 Goldens.... I did read about them, a lot, before getting my first but I made mistake # 1, #2 and #5 (this last one was not made so serious but they walk around the table at lunch and dinner time... there is always someone who offers food)
The only insurance I bought was in case they bite someone (they are friendly but... )
Treats recommendations ?
If you're getting a puppy from a reputable breeder, they should provide you with a clean bill of health from a veterinarian. Get insurance as early as possible since that's when it'll likely be the cheapest since they won't have any pre-existing conditions. Plus insurance goes up as the age of the dog goes up.
Those tips are valid, but not specific to Goldens. Pretty universal for most dog, I‘d say.
Which food is a well balanced for goldens?? Which food do you feed?
Your videos were very helpful 😂
We're so glad we could be of any help! Thanks a lot :)
I also have a 2 and half months Golden retriever
If you would be living in Delhi, it is really tuff, with amount of aggressive stray dogs , keeps barking in middle of night, disturbing your sleep and even your buddy . Run even is more hard as even in parks you find stray dogs attacking your buddy in group
Hi ,
I'm planing to get a my first dog I needed to be really good with small kids about 3rys old and smart easy to train , should I go with still I don't know which type is the best and should it be puppy or adult?
Thanks in advance
Your goldie is soooooo cute 😍😍🥰🥰
I got my British black lab at 8weeks it’s been 2 weeks and she already knows sit and lay Down
My labrador bites a lot..pls suggesr what to do
You have Show the clip of tilak nagar mumbai
table scraps - my dog started being nice when I did start giving him table scraps, if he is quiet and lying down for my whole eating then I am giving him last scraps
Hi my golden retriever is 6 months and he is only 21 kg as he had Parvo is it okay
For once I didn’t overtreat him I prob undertreated them sometimes he doesn’t get one for a year and yeah my puppy sometimes gets steak only sometimes tho
My Goldie is sooo active...she is full time playing... She is slim ....is that a bad thing?
From what I read, let a new puppy do what it wants the day you get it home. Going to a new home is stressful for a puppy, so let it do its thing and acclimate to its new home stress free the first day, then start training the next day.
I should note that I havn't actually raised a puppy myself, I ended up rescuing a 4 year old dog, so this is purely from my research, not from personal experience. It makes a lot of sense to me though
Im looking to get a golden pup and I’ve been told not to take them outside or socialize them with other dogs until they have their vaccines and are about 4 months old. Is this something I should follow? Please help. Im just nervous that by socializing them early they may catch parvo or get sick. Any helpful tips much appreciated 😊 thank you 🙏🏻
Socializing a dog is also getting them used to loud noises and different textures under their paws etc. you can do all that inside but your dog needs to be socialized outdoors with other dogs and people as well, especially before the age of 4 months, that’s the most important socializing phase. Take your dog to many different places of else you will get an anxious dog.
I love goldies,
Goldies bahot humble, innocent, selfless, adorable, caring, loving hai. 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
Thay are also great company when you alone at home.🥰🥰👍👍👌👌👏👏
I also Guess! the same but I don’t have one
But thinking to buy!
@@AaravTheDon yes u can bye or adopt indian from dog shelter, apka time kitana happy jayega aap soch nahi sakate, thoda care karna padata hai,
Mere paas femal golden retriever hai 7 yrs old, she is soooooo kind , lovely, caring and humble , bauot pyari hai magar enko maintenance bahot lagata hai. Indian ko etna nahi lagata. My husband ko golden retriever hi chahiya tha so mai indian nahi le payi. Aapko lena hai dog to big 👍👍from me.
@@Rp-iz6fn Indian Se matlab Kya hai
Kya voh Indian Spitz? Or any other
I thinking to buy Golden Retriever only
@@AaravTheDon aap golden retriever bhi le sakate ho . No problem at all. Indian matlab stray dogs. Mere bhai ne bachapan me stray dog laya tha ho bahot hi healthy tha aur accha bhi tha. Aap ki marji hai . Agar aap bye kar sakte ho to golden retriever is best hai . Bahot hi pyare hote hai sab dogs breade me according to me 🐕🐕❤❤👍👍
Same mistakes I did when I adopted a pug now she is 1 year old but she doesn't have manners so I request people please watch whole video
Point 1 is legit, we trained our golden retriever puppy since month 2.
I have two years old golden retriever male dog . He is aggressively biting when sprayed with medicine or taken for vaccination. Not just that his temperament is quite unpredictable whenever stopped from doing something he may or may not bite .His aggression is not regular that’s worrisome. (Bites even his most favourite family member ) His biting have increased to once in month he gets angry and bites. Can this be fixed? Is it feasible to train him at this age and fix this pblm?
"He is aggressively biting when sprayed with medicine". I don't even blame him one bit. I'd bite you too.
How do u stop a golden who's nearly 5 months to stop aggression? He's starting to snarl and growl and trying to bite me or someone in my house every time he's got something in his mouth he shouldn't have! Not just that but just in general
Commenting for youtube algorithms5
I wish I knew this I agree with this.. my dog is spoilt
SOMEONE PLEASE TELL ME THE BEST FOOD AND TREATS FOR GOLDEN RETRIEVER?? I’m getting mine in 2 weeks he’ll be 13 weeks by then ? I know I’ll start training as soon as I get him. Any other tips ?
Mine is on Purina Pro Plan, it's one of the most common and best ones that people like to use. Majority of goldens will be very food motivated so you can use kibble for training purposes. For high value treats, I like to use cooked chicken (unseasoned), and other single ingredient treats from stores (like dried liver, chicken, beef, etc.)
Please upload
can we give home made food to our golden if yes what can we give please make a video about this
Yeah sure! Thanks for the Suggestion :)
Home cooked food with natural ingredients is better than commercially processed food. Raw food is really really good for dogs because most of the nutrients are retained and not destroyed. However, dogs on raw diet must be dewormed diligently.
Reminder: Dogs on home-made food will disdain kibbles. I train my dogs either they eat or they go hungry.
My 1 month old golden retriever is sleeping most of the time and thats okay as I thought its still is a puppy but then when I kept in a small open box after 5 minutes it started to like bark , then again I took it to my roof and then it slept near my legs is this behavior okay or some problem?
That's absolutely normal...puppy needs lots of sleep... when my Golden Retriever was of the same age ..he use to sleep at least 18 hours a day
Thanks alot for telling that 🙂 I was so worried about my puppy
My retriever does not eat his dog food and is now underweighted at the age of 3 months and also that he only eats his food when I add curd or water and milk.
Can we please see Simba in your videos ma'am. Thanks.
I’m convincing my dad to get me a golden retriever but i’m just afraid about how much the foods gonna be lol
@Lakshitha P. M every how long?
Me too, more than food I’m worried about their hairfall all over!! 🥺
@@ishaangarg525 Well if shedding is a problem, i would prob suggest brushing them outside in your backyard
And the vaccinations
Well raising a Golden Retriever can surely be a little expensive but yes when it comes to convincing our parents to get a dog there are many things you could do :) Just wait for our upcoming video and you will get your answer!
I did start traing my dog the next day we got it
That is really great.

@@RetrieverCare I had a beagle but we sold it cos it bites everyone :( I miss him
U r from India right!?!?!?
#TakeCareOfYourGoldenRetriever
I only did one which is not getting pet insurance
I think you meant acclimatise not aCLITamise
Iam getting it on 5 january
i want to have one and i wanted to ask u how much it costs ?
@@iroiliadi it cost 30 thousand or more
I see that a lot of people struggle with yes or no with dog insurrence.
Here is the thing: Every dog owner loves to help their dog. Even if you spend 400-600 euro a year on dog insurrence it keeps me safe for making the most terrible decision: Pay or Die.
I don't want to make that decision ever in my life and can say at the end of a dogs life: I gave it all I got in all the times he got sick or injured.
Guilty ! Especially with the treats .
You don't "do a mistake," you "make a mistake."
I don’t agree with the dog insurance. We had one and didn’t do anything. Most are useless and don’t actually pay most of the costs.
We have a dog insurance for our simba and it does help us!
First let’s go
Thanks alot :)
Idk what breed my dog is
Views of people having golden retriever
Your golden ritrever also chews vernichers like groot
We don't train our dogs, they train themselves by looking at other dogs. My golden retriever do mistakes then he realizes it & then rectifies it. Most of the time whenever he sees a new thing, out of self defense, he attacks it but then he realizes, it's not harmful.
Mine Golden 4 moth puppy is a lazy fuck
my dad had a dog when he was young and the left overs was his food the dog was fine ( but don't do this )
Meeeeeee 2
The word is “acclimatizing” not “acclitamizing”!
1:27 What? Afraid of cats?!
is anyone here from india ? Need a help
My dad promised if the eagles win the super bowl he will get me a golden. edit: they didn’t win :(
Nope no!!
guardate boston!
aCLITamizing them???
Your useing msa voice
I don't understand this concept of training pets by paying so much. Pets, especially dogs are sharp enough to understand almost everything as they grow. My pet was never trained, but was very disciplined. He never sits in a sofa or bed, never enters kitchen, sits with the family during a conversation, and loved my dad to death. And he would understand everything we say. I miss him😑
Training your dog by yourself is always a good thing but having a trainer add that extra discipline to your dog's training sessions. Also your dog must have been such a good boy :)
Are you a indian?
First
Thank you so much!
@@RetrieverCare hey my dog eats grapes and isn't I'll is my dog a god cos it's already been a month too
If you’re feeding your dog more than once a day, you’re over feeding your dog and shortening its life expectancy.
That is so not true! First of all it totally depends on a particular breed and its capacity to consume food. In fact Dogs should eat at least two meals each day, about 12 hours apart. But a breakfast, lunch, and dinner schedule is an equally great option and yes as said before it differs from breed to breed.
@@RetrieverCare actually research has proven eating once a day is beneficial for many land dwelling mammals including humans. Fasting done on primates, dogs, rats etc have shown it elevates macrophage and neutrophil activity which results in a boosted immune system and longevity.
Who told you to wait 6 months before training? That's only setting you up for failure; terrible advice. Please please please no table scraps people. There are plenty of things in a human diet that are extremely harmful/deadly to dogs.
Wow! Stock footage much? This video is so bogus, just generic advice.
Bad voice…headache
Hello
I have been thinking of getting a goldie for a long time and I wanted to ask you where you got it from and how much you paid if you have no problem telling me. Thank you for your attention
I got mine from a pet store when he was about 2 months. He was about $5000
